Music career
2011–2013: Sabes Mi Nombre / Better Man
His debut album Sabes Mi Nombre is published in 2011 by Art Emotion [2] (previously released by INgrooves).
In the first half of 2012, two new singles are published: "Amarte Más" and "Sun Comes Up". These songs don't obtain big consensus. "Yo Te Quiero" came right after. [3] Co-written with songwriter Silvio Cassaro, the track got a lot different. At its debut, the video gained a lot of attention on YouTube.
In March 2013, Better Man was released. Sung in English, Italian and Spanish, the album emphasizes a more focused sound to urban, hip hop and R&B, merged with Afro-Caribbean and zouk rhythms. [4]
2014–2015: Outsider / iNomad
Outsider, [5] his third album, is announced in 2014. Once again, synth pop, neo soul and afro-urban are mixed in its tracks. "Niente Di Più" [6] [7] is chosen as first single, while "Courage & Faith" [8] is the second tune extracted.
In 2015, he produced a number of videos called iNomad. [9] The aim of the project is to show the recording process of a whole song, in a natural environment, through the use of mobile technologies (already experimented by singer-songwriter Son Pascal). [10]
